Summary


Android Marshmallow has brought in a great backup feature for apps, reducing friction for users migrating to new devices.

In a world full of diverse apps, maximizing the benefits from automatic backups leads to better user experience. The goal of this feature is to unload the burden and shorten the time required to set up a new device with the user's favorite apps.

Allowing the users to enter your app with merely a password prompt after the new installation can be a great experience; try it yourself! You can check out the sample code that's included or go to the GitHub repository at:
